Stroked95GT - I think your getting in the horsepower range of needing pure slicks for decent 60ft and 1/4 mile times. If you need to compromise for street/strip duty then the ET 28" tire is what I would go with.
I had the 26" ET tire, 3.73 gears, and still had traction problems with my old 347 build. I couldn't come out of the hole anything higher than 3,500. With the 28" you might be able to stay on top of the tire better.
Take some of this as anectdotal as I'm still trying to get mine to hook and have not perfected. The Nittos I have are worse than the ET's traction wise, so I'm looking at slicks for the track now.

My brother had nittos and they SUCK!!!!
But doesn't going with a taller tire like 28" defeat the purpose of the steeper 4.10 gear?
But I was thinking about gettint the 28" anyway because sometimes, depending on tire spin off the line with 26" tires my shift light (in 3rd) would be coming on just before the traps in the 1/8th mile. And I havn't been to the 1/4 with the car yet but i think i would run out 4th gear and maybe have to grab 5th which i heard you dont wanna do.
And the tires would be strictly for the track but I want "cheater slicks" so I can still run street class if i decide to bracket race.

Yes, I concur Nitto's do not bite as well, but my budget with three rugrats does not afford me the luxury of replacing ET's every year. I made it one year with the ET's, and going on two years with my Nittos.
Running out of rpm in 4th gear was my thoughts exactly with the 26" tire, thus my recommention for the 28". Further, I've heard in higher horse applications that a slightly taller tire can actually aid in traction if the suspension allows enough weight transfer (albeit you have to be or close to pulling the wheels for that theory IMO). I'm not sure that I completely buy that, but that is what I've heard around the pits.
Sounds like you are leaning towards the ET's, and they are a solid hybrid tire (street/strip) and I think the best choice between your three listed.

I understand the whole budget thing. The only problem I see is that the ET Street Drag does not have a 28x10.5/R15 Atleast not on Jegs.com. I'd like to a have atleast 10" of contact to the strip(tread width). And I dont think I could stuff a 28x12.5 under my car.
They have a 28x11.5 but it only has 8.6 tread width. Think it will matter that much?

Make sure you compare the compound ratings between the two. The ETs at only 8.6" could still easily out bite a 10" patch that has a harder compound rating. On the flip stide, the softer the rating the much quicker the wear on the street and more frequent need to replace. Many factors to weigh when making this choice.

I'm going to go with the quick time pros. On other forums they say they grip better/just as good and last alot longer. Worse case scenario i dont like them and ill get some different ones. Thanks for the help
Once i get the tires and get to the track ill let yall know how they do

Which tires are best?
